When I had a contract with a local telco I would have to use a VPN in order to get onto a network with a test switch. The problem with I had was that I lost my access to the Internet with that connection. What I ended up doing was running the VPN in a virtual machine. My software ran in the virtual machine connecting to the test switch without a problem but the rest of my computer still had access to the Internet.

You could do the same and only your business stuff would be sent over the VPN. Of course the FBI might just listen to everything coming out of your connection instead of anything just on the VPN which would mean that this wouldn't work.

Well if your blinds are drawn then you definitely have something to hide.

Having used some of Autonomy's products I'd say that HP paid $11.7 B too much for the company.

I don't even bother adding the number to a contact. If it's blocked it's because it's a telemarketer.

Yes, they keep it encrypted on their site. I came across their software because I ran across their app for the iPad and gave it a try.

the last time they put out a release that actually had something that I used.

I've been using their tax software for years and haven't looked into their offering this year because I found an alternative that lets you pay what you want to, including nothing, after you have filed. It's at simpletax.ca in case anyone is interested. Now I just need to find an alternative for my company taxes.

And put all those accountants and lawyers out of work!

I hired an accountant for the first year to set up my books and do my taxes. From then on I've done everything myself.

The last thing that I had been using radio for was my alarm but I stopped that when I got sick of the fart jokes and Bieber updates. They didn't play his "music" but for some reason thought I gave a damn about what he was up to.

I find many artists through CBC Music 3. The Band of the Day app is pretty good too.

The bells on an ice cream bicycle (cart). I have only even seen an ice cream truck probably once in the last decade. Every summer there is a truck that goes around the neighbourhood ringing a bell and playing music but it's for sharpening lawnmower blades.

I still see a couple of those around town during the summer for the tourists.

I don't know about the US but in Ontario they use the fax a lot in the medical practice (and between pharmacies) when there is no electronic interchange available. They are not allowed to use email because it's not secure. My doctors office just has the documents go directly into their electronic system and if they need a paper copy they print it out from there.

I was thinking motion activated. It would start recording when they get out of their car and while they walk around and keep recording for five or ten minutes after the motion has stopped.

Only if they can find a way to outsource the building of the hoop into 40+ states and create 10,000 jobs in order to gain enough support in Congress.
